SIX.
"Honestly, I think it's ridiculous, Lacus."
"Really? I find it quite sweet, actually."
" 'Princesses of Peace'? If I wanted a pointless nickname for us two, I would have chosen something…I don't know, more…fierce. Impressive. They make us sound like characters from some silly film."
A clear laugh tinkled across the line. "I'll keep that in mind the next time I have a press conference, Cagalli. I'll remember to tell off the media for ever daring to insult us in such a way."
"Well, good! I don't know if I'd ever walk into a meeting and take someone with the designation of 'Princess of Peace' seriously."
"I have to go, Cagalli. But make sure you think of a more suitable title for us."
"Of course! I'll talk to you soon."
Cagalli hung up and found herself in an inexplicably-irritated mood the rest of the day. Stupid magazines plastering whatever they wanted on their covers. The matter had even ruined her daily phone call with Lacus.
Halfway through lunch the next day, Cagalli slammed her fork and knife onto the table in an excited rush. She turned to the only other person in the room, a terrified maid, and shouted triumphantly, "'The Goddesses of Effective Diplomacy and Successful Governments!'"
(Lacus didn't take very well to that one. So 'Princesses of Peace' it was.)
notes: I figured a bit of light-heartedness was necessary.
